How to add a default image to new CMS items via Velo code?

Question:

Last time I checked, adding a default image inside the “default” of the CMS field, doesn’t work when a new item is created via code.

Therefore I’m trying to add a “default” image when a new item is added with code.

How do I do that?
.
.

What have I tried:

I tried getting the location of a specific image, from my Wix Gallery, by adding the image somewhere on my site and then running this code:

let img = $w("#image1").src;
    console.log(img);

The console logged something like this:

wix:image://v1/ca7060_d1c9a63b2c146b9da674fa5e35869~mv2.jpg/_.jpg#originWidth=2989&originHeight=2000

So I imagine that that is the location of the image, to try and pull from.

But when I add it to my “create new Item code” …it says:
Cannot find name 'wix'

If I remove that it says:
Cannot find name image.

My code looks like this:

const myCollection = "Projects";
const saveNewProject = () => {

        let toInsert = {
            "title": $w("#projectTitle").value,
            "profileImage": wix:image://v1/ca7060_d1c9a63b2c1446b9ada674fa5e357869~mv2.jpg/_.jpg#originWidth=2989&originHeight=2000
        };

        wixData.insert(myCollection, toInsert)

.

Conclusion:

Anybody able to help?

A big thanks in advance.

Try putting it inside of quotes.
“wix:image://v1/ca7060_d1c9a63b2c1446b9ada674fa5e357869~mv2.jpg”

Make sure your code does not have any red lines (;
